Chapter 4

Jack had been home for little more than an hour when someone rang his doorbell. Expecting to see Sam at his door, he was extremely surprised to see Miller standing there.

"Miller. Is there something I can help you with?"

"I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time O'Neill. There is something very important that I need to discuss with you."

"And what is that?"

"It has something to due with a member of SG-1."

With that Jack moved aside and let the man in. Jack didn't like him, but it sounded important and it concerned a member of his team.

"So, what is this about?" he asked.

"Well, I think that when someone's life depends upon another person on a daily basis, that those people have a right to know the truth about their team mates, don't you agree?"

"Okay, you kind of lost me."

"Sir, did Major Carter tell you what she was doing before coming to the SGC?"

"She was at the Pentagon working on the Stargate program."

"Well Colonel I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Major Carter has been lying to you. When I first saw Sam the other day, it was the first time I had seen her in five years. Before you ask, the reason I know Sam is because we used to work together. She was my partner and we worked under the command of Harry Maybourn. And I know that you feel that there are people in the SGC who are loyal to NID and feeding them important information."

"Are you trying to say that..."

"Colonel, I'm not here to cause trouble to your team, but I feel that someone should tell you the truth. I know that three weeks ago you were involved in flushing out some traitors. I also know that you fell you have not got all those involved. However, it isn't my place to be saying anything about Carter. I though that you might need convincing so I brought over the Majors' file. Please feel free to do what ever with it, I can always get another copy." And with that, Miller was out the door.

Jack sat there for a few moments letting everything sink in. When the shock finally wore off, the anger came in. He felt betrayed and hurt that this could happen; that she could do this to him. He picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hammond, this is Jack. We need to talk. Call in Daniel and everyone. Tomorrow morning-early, before the briefing. We need to talk."

Sam was walking as fast as she could towards the briefing room. She had been so tired that she had slept past her alarm, and was now late for the meeting. Luckily she had stayed on base the previous night instead of going home, so it was a short walk. Before entering she looked at her watch and noticed that she was right on time. When she went in she noticed that everyone was present and even Janet had joined the meeting. However, from the expression on their faces she could tell that something was wrong.

"What's going on?"

"Major, would you take a seat please?" Hammond said.

"Did something happen? Is my dad okay?"

"You father is fine Major."

"Then what's going on?"

Instead of getting a verbal response, Jack slid a folder across the table to her. She reached out for it, and as she brought it towards her she recognized it immediately. Instinctually she took a breath and held it. She looked up at them only to be greeted by a look of absolute hate.

"I can explain..."

"There is no need for that Major." Jack said.

"Sir?"

General Hammond took this time to push another set of papers towards her and Sam looked them over. She was surprised yet again. The papers were something she had been trying to avoid for five years now.

"Major, those papers are transferring you back to Washington DC. Your plane leaves this evening and if you fail to be on it, you will be arrested. I suggest that you return to your quarters and office and pack up your personal belongings. An airman will meet you in half an hour to take you topside. At that time all your access codes will be locked out of the system, and should you return, you will be arrested. And, on a personal note, I can not belief that someone I consider to be my daughter has lied to me and deceived me and everyone else on this base as to who you really are." With that he got up and left the room.

Daniel and Teal'c took one more look at Sam before getting up and following the General out. Jack and Janet were the only ones left in the room, and even they got up and made their way to leave.

"Janet, wait..."

"No Sam I don't want to hear you. I can't belief that we were friends. And worse I let you around Cassandra. You were probably letting the NID know everything that was going on with her. Did you make sure that there were no question on her adoption so then that way you could let the powers that be in Washington know how their alien was doing? God Sam, you disgust me. I never want to see you again. And don't even think about trying to contact Cassandra either." with that, Janet left. Now it was just Sam and Jack.

"Jack," she tried pleading with him, but to no avail.

"Carter, I do belief that I am your superior officer, at least for a few more hours, so you will refer to me by my rank or I will have your ass thrown in the brig for insubordination, where you can join Maybourn's other lackeys that are currently serving jail time."

"Don't tell me that you actually belief what Miller told you?"

"Who said anything about Miller?"

"Sir, he has been threatening me since he got here."

"Threaten you? I find that hard to belief Major. How could you have lied to us all this time? How could you have lied to me? I trusted you with my life and my heart, and you stabbed me in the back."

"What about the baby?"

"Everything about us was a mistake Carter, and that includes the baby. I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I mean nothing. Don't write me or contact me in any way. Just do us all a favor and stay out of our lives."

With that Jack left the room, leaving Sam by herself. Standing there, she finally allowed the tears to spill. Little did she know that Jack was having the same reaction. One mans actions had caused more than a few broken hearts.
